These are the women whose stories you never hear.

Dounia, a young Saudi mother finds herself alienated as she prepares for motherhood in an air-conditioned box in the middle of the desert, surrounded by construction and yet completely isolated.

Flora, after losing everything in a natural disaster, feels she must do the unthinkable: leave her surviving child behind in the Philippines as she departs to become an overseas domestic worker.

Zeinah, a Syrian woman who has been pushed by her family to marry a jihadist, finds herself joining the city's morality police.

Justine uproots her progressive New York family when she's tapped to curate an exhibit in Abu Dhabi, where she must reckon with her moral and ethical limitations.

And Eskedare, a spirited and defiant Ethiopian teenager, flees a dreaded arranged marriage to search for her only friend, only to find her dreams dead-end in the Gulf.

Written with unsettling intimacy and determined empathy, GULF is a book about cruelty, rebellion, resilience - and hope. It asks the question: how far would you go in order to survive?
